What Are CBD Cosmetics and CBD Bath Bombs?

CBD cosmetics and CBD bath bombs join the list other popular CBD products that thousands of people around the globe are turning to as a more natural alternative to support their health and wellness routines. At Elements of Green, you will find a wide variety of CBD products that include CBD oil, CBD topicals, CBD capsules, CBD gum, CBD vapes, CBD pet products and more. These CBD products are sourced from carefully selected brands that meet the highest standards in quality, potency and of course safety. Our team has done extensive research on hundreds of brands across Europe, North America and the globe to provide a carefully curated list of premium CBD brands. This is no different for the CBD topical, CBD cosmetic and CBD bath bomb products that are carried on the platform.

CBD cosmetics come in various forms; the most common are CBD creams or lotions, balms, gels, and even lip chap. Essentially, these products are infused with CBD to provide targeted relief to specific areas of the body without having to inhale, consume, or have any compounds enter the bloodstream.

This can be perfect for new consumers to CBD who would prefer to experience the benefits of this wonderful compound without having it enter the bloodstream to start.

What are the Benefits of CBD Cosmetics?

We came across an excellent article from The Good Face Project titled CBD Cosmetics: Are They Worth the Hype? They provided the following information specifically on the benefits of CBD cosmetics:

 

1. Reduced inflammation

Inflamed skin isn’t fun. It’s painful and likely appears red and irritated. All skin types can experience inflammation, and it can vary from acute to chronic.

Like the body, CBD may help with skin inflammation. CBD alleviates inflammation in the skin by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Cytokines are a group of proteins that interact with the immune system and regulate inflammation.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines are also associated with producing pain, so regulating cytokines with CBD may alleviate both inflamed and painful skin.

 

2. Soothe acne

Similar to its anti-inflammatory effects, CBD may have anti-acne effects.

A Hungarian researcher suggests that CBD may be more effective than Accutane as a treatment for acne. This is good news to the many women experiencing acne in adulthood.

 

3. Relieve skin diseases

There is a lot of research suggesting that CBD may alleviate symptoms like dryness, itchiness, burning, and more. Therefore, CBD may bring relief to people with the following skin conditions:

Psoriasis

Dermatitis

Xerosis

CBD Cosmetic Application Tips

We recommend checking the ingredients in your CBD cosmetic product prior to use, for example, if there is peppermint or citrus included, you will not want to apply the cream or balm to your face or anywhere near your eyes. It is always recommended to clean the area you are applying the topical to and, of course, wash your hands before and after application. Some consumers have reported a better experience after taking a hot shower or using a warm cloth to help open up pores in the skin.

 

What Does The Data Say?

 According to a detailed CBD skin care market report from Big Market Research:

• “CBD oil possesses unique anti-inflammatory and anti-acne properties, which are quite popular among cosmetic manufacturers. The CBD oil based products find a variety of wellness applications and are popular among athletes and body builders. The oil claims the reduction of post-exercise inflammation and also promotes muscle growth. CBD is also making way across makeup and cosmetic products including face creams, lip balms, mascara, and body lotion through its unique attributes of anti-inflammation. The increase in popularity of CBD based skin care products and legalization of cannabis cultivation among the U.S. and Canada is anticipated to further boost the revenue growth of the CBD skin care market.”

Further, an additional study compiled by Grand View Research provides added support and endorsement for the benefits of CBD cosmetics, we have provided the following highlights from the report:

• “CBD is considered safe and effective for all skin types but is particularly useful for people who struggle with sensitivity, inflammatory conditions, acne, and dryness related to skin. Owing to these strong inflammatory properties, CBD helps in the skin’s natural healing process, lowering the life span of breakouts and eczema flare-ups. CBD also showcases potential antioxidant properties that can help in counteracting signs of aging. It can even help in reducing pain caused by inflammatory skin conditions.”

• “It is highly beneficial for acne, aging, and wrinkle prone skin conditions due to its anti-inflammatory properties. CBD oil also has antioxidant attributes, which help in reducing the visible signs of aging.”

• “These CBD infused masks and serums are expected to gain a significant share in the global market. This scenario is attributed to increasing demand for facial mask sheets and serums that penetrate deep in the skin and are easy to apply.”

• “ According to the EU cosmetic ingredient database, hempseed oil also acts as a surfactant, cleanser, emollient, and skin conditioner agent. Hemp molecules are very minute, which further allows it to effectively penetrate the skin and provide effective results. These attributes are expected to result in the increasing application of hemp in skin care products, thereby contributing to the global market growth in the next few years.”
